Well, yeah, limited editions may be rather stupid and redundant, and gay at times.. like when Kanwulf (Nargaroth) released the limited Semper Fidelis box (99 copies), containing a t-shirt on which Kanwulf had ejaculated (can you imaging that idiot wanking 99 times in a row in order to make 99 retarded fans happy?
... and that's not even the gayest thing about the box)
wtf!?! Who the fuck would ever want to buy that? YUCK... Just out of curiosity: Then what is the gayest thing about the box?

But generally speaking limitations are a question of money. New and smaller bands in the underground are forced to limit their albums no matter what. It's not free to press cd's, tapes, or vinyls. Most limited stuff get re-released if enough ppl want it. I know a guy who has his own label, very very small, and he is supposed to release some 7''s for some danish bands, and practically speaking he won't be earning any money, neither will the bands, cuz it is too expensive to get them pressed (like 4-5€ per copy), and he can't sell them for a whole lot.. so you see, pressing unlimited amounts is not economical wise. But some bands brags more about the limitation than others... of course if your own a label called Nuclear Blast you don't need to limit yourself.
Also know some guys who have a crappy band but want's to be professionel, but even they released limited 7'' and cd's at first...
bla bla bla... bla bla bla...
Of course it is mostly a question about financing the release, but when a band (in casu Darkspace) releases both a limited edition and an unlimited one, the only difference being the handnumbering, I just don't get it. They could at least throw in some extra material or something.
That is quite a cum-stain.. He doesn't get out too often it seems.
